Figure 2 (a) Active-site residues of molecule A (ordered type) of the L-Phe-NH[2] complex. C atoms are shown in grey, O atoms in red and N atoms in blue. A [A]-weighted F[o] - F[c] L-Phe-NH[2] OMIT map contoured at 3.0 is superposed in grey. Broken red lines represent hydrogen bonds. (b) Active-site residues of moleucle E (disordered type) of the L-Phe-NH[2] complex. C atoms are shown in light green. [A]-Weighted F[o] - F[c] L-Phe-NH[2] OMIT maps contoured at 3.0 and 2.0 are superposed in grey and cyan, respectively. (c) Stereoview of the superposition of the active-site residues of molecule E in the L-Phe-NH[2] complex and those in the D-Phe complex. The hypothetical mirror plane is shown as a black line. For the L-Phe-NH[2] complex, C atoms are shown in light green and hydrogen bonds are shown as red broken lines. For the D-Phe complex, C atoms are shown in pink and hydrogen bonds are shown as magenta broken lines. (d) Schematic representation of the binding mode of L-Phe-NH[2] and D-Phe in molecule E of DAA. L-Phe-NH[2] and D-Phe are shown in red. The hydrophobic cavity for holding the side chain and the space for anchoring the amino N atom are labelled (1) and (2), respectively. The cavities in which the amide group of L-Phe-NH[2] and the carboxyl group of D-Phe are located are labelled (3L) and (3D), respectively.
